fathom

QUOTE (flavum @ May 3, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) I'll take Lopez as a great closer and Dunning starting the 3rd or 4th playoff game in 2020. That's still a good trade. Still think Lopez can start

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 3, 2017 -> 04:57 PM) It's SUPER premature. Look, the velocity is absolutely a concern and something to pay attention to but it's also not as crazy bad as fathom has been going off on lately. He could be working on stuff, he could be trying to get his mechanics straight or he might just be off to a really bad start. All I know is he's a 22 year old in AAA who has had success in the past and whose breaking ball is at least missing bats at the moment. He's a project at this point but to call him is a disaster is even too fathom-y for fathom. It's not even just the velocity, but just going by the hard contact off of him this year, it doesn't appear his spin rate has drastically improved. The swings that the opposition gets off the fastball are scary.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 3, 2017 -> 04:50 PM) You've just been waiting to say this, haven't you? I liked the Eaton trade, but to me he looks like the same exact pitcher who had a fastball that got destroyed in the majors. He seems to be a major reclamation project now, which I doubt Hahn had in mind.

Giolito really sucks. So many excuses made for him being a disaster

Giolito has nothing on his fastball

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 3, 2017 -> 02:44 AM) Jesus, tomorrow's final score might be 12-10. The AAA game with Giolito?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 3, 2017 -> 02:34 AM) TA has to show more patience. Pitchers aren't even throwing him strikes to get him out. We were talking about it yesterday, but he is so passive early in the count with his swing. He just needs to let it rip

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 3, 2017 -> 02:27 AM) Geo has called one hell of a game. He seems to work very well with Q

QUOTE (beautox @ May 3, 2017 -> 02:32 AM) came away with nothing but that was a solid AB by Leury, great to see. come on TA. Gives away so many at bats with awful approach. Nothing like chasing a 1-0 slider to weakly ground out to SS

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 3, 2017 -> 01:59 AM) He's a guess hitter. Problem is he is not good at hitting offspeed pitches. Can't think of any homers in his career on offspeed pitch

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 3, 2017 -> 01:56 AM) Watching Anderson bat is either agony or ecstasy on a pitch by pitch basis, there is no middle ground. He's lost his ability to drive the ball to right center

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 3, 2017 -> 02:06 AM) the number of mistakes is obnoxious. I usually stick up for him but that was horrible

Duffy looks ruined

Hawk, just retire

Another hitless game for Collins....hot streak lasted two games

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 3, 2017 -> 01:47 AM) Going back to Abreu and his GIDP in the first. When Josevgies through a slump he is just brutal to watch He's been on fire

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:34 AM) are you being sarcastic? Nope

QUOTE (reiks12 @ May 3, 2017 -> 01:32 AM) Sale is going to get his cy young this year. It is going to be strange to watch him get inducted in the HOF as a member of the Red Sox Don't see him having the longevity to be a HOFer

Fulmer back to walking the world

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 3, 2017 -> 12:24 AM) Watching Chris Sale right now makes it even more mind-boggling what the White Sox did to him last year with the 'pitch to contact' BS and the horrible framing So true

QUOTE (daggins @ May 2, 2017 -> 11:59 PM) The people are excited for YoMo. A note - the pitcher going against Kanny has not allowed a baserunner in the last 12 innings. He has a perfecto last time and so far is doing the same tonight. Nice jinx

Sale looks better than ever

Moncada bomb

Have a feeling Shields is gonna miss a few months. He's reporting no progress

Shields and Rodon gonna miss a lot more time. Things are gonna get ugly
